Eric,
I've been using IBeM for some time now on my A3000. I have an IBM
partition set up on the hard drive and IBeM boots up off of that. I run
Word Perfect and many other MS-DOS programs without many problems.
Here is the mountlist entries I use for IBMA: and IBMB:. Note that I am
using CrossDos to do this instead of MSH:
IBMA:
Device = mfm.device
Unit = 0
Flags = 0
Surfaces = 2
BlocksPerTrack = 9
Reserved = 1
Interleave = 0
LowCyl = 0; HighCyl = 79 /* 80 track drive */
FileSystem = L:MSDOSFileSystem
Buffers = 5
BufMemType = 0
Stacsize = 4000
Priority = 5
GlobVec = -1
DosType = 0x4D534400
Mount = 0; #
IBMB:
Device = mfm.device
Unit = 2
Flags = 0
Surfaces = 2
BlocksPerTrack = 9
Reserved = 1
Interleave = 0
LowCyl = 0; HighCyl = 79 /* 80 track drive */
FileSystem = L:MSDOSFileSystem
Buffers = 5
BufMemType = 0
Stacksize = 4000
Priority = 5
GlobVec = -1
DosType = 0x4D534400
Mount = 0; #
This is almost a duplicate of the mountlist that comes with CrossDos. I
mount IBMA: and IBMB: in my start-up sequence. I do not know if this will
work on your system, but it might give you a starting point.
I believe that CI$ has internet mail, in which case you can E-Mail a
letter to the author of IBeM (his E-Mail address is in the docs). I have
done so myself (via usenet) and he responds very rapidly to questions.
